Simultaneous policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The principle, and the International Simultaneous Policy Organization, or ISPO, which was created to promote it, were initiated by John M. Bunzl. The idea of simultaneity of sovereign state action is not itself a new idea, it being the basis of treaty and United Nations initiatives that nothing can be done on some problems, like disarmament, until all major players agree to a common timetable of implementing solutions. As this example suggests, the policies that are put in place simultaneously may be more complex than initially realized, and may require the cooperation of multiple branches or levels of government within one country, in addition to global cooperation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Simultaneous_policy   (418 words)

Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Public policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Policy is interpreted and implemented by public and private actors. One way to evaluate the success of public policy is to examine the extent to which it increases the well-being of its citizens. When public policy and large financial or other stakes are in the balance, vested interests will often resort to "junk science" to support their positions. www.hallencyclopedia.com /Public_policy   (2480 words)

Global : Ideas : Bank - Simultaneous global policy making for a new world The Simultaneous Policy is an attempt to find a way of replacing the global system of competition and ‘free’ trade with a framework for international co-operation, and the innovative concept behind it is that every nation in the world would implement the measures needed for the new framework at the same time. The aim of the policy, ‘the transformation of the international economy such that it operates in harmony with the global natural environment and with the needs of human nature’, can only be achieved if this happens at the same time everywhere. Thus the simultaneity of the policy is two-fold: the policy will eventually be implemented simultaneously by all countries, but, in the meantime, countries will simultaneously continue with the present competitive economic system whilst having adopted the, contradictory, co-operative system as a future policy they are committed to. www.globalideasbank.org /site/bank/idea.php?ideaId=3362   (2317 words)

2 EUREKA Simultaneous Policy 6/10/01 "Simultaneous Policy is a most promising strategy for discovering and establishing a more equitable, efficient and sustainable economic order." Shann Turnbull Author of "Democratizing the Wealth of Nations" "The concept of Simultaneous Policy (SP) is a wonderful way of implementing cooperation which is the new law of human survival in the globalized world. The need for simultaneity of sovereign state action is an important new dimension of a debate affecting all planetary life." John McMurtry Author of "The Cancer Stage of Capitalism" "I must admit that the Simultaneous Policy is a very provocative document.

International Simultaneous Policy Organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It believes that transnational citizen action is vital because "global markets and multinational corporations so comprehensively overpower individual nations that no politician dares make the first move to solve global problems for fear of competitive disadvantage". ISPO aims to overcomes this paralysis by bringing all nations to adopt in principle - and then to simultaneously implement - the Simultaneous Policy (SP), a range of democratically selected regulations to bring about economic justice, environmental security and peace around the world. Further, there exists a growing number of SP partner organisations that support the democratic aims and principles of the Simultaneous Policy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/International_Simultaneous_Policy_Organization   (354 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding.

(International Simultaneous Policy Organisation) http://www.simpol.org We invited R.S. to brief us on his organisation's objectives and this was his response with specific policy objectives in brief at the end. The "neo-liberal" economic policies advocated by the World Bank, IMF, WTO, and other agencies call for totally unregulated "free markets" where financing of development (or restructuring of debt) by these agencies is conditioned on privatisation of government services and removal of limits on exploitation of workers and the environment. homepages.ihug.co.nz /~dominc/electronz/archives/036.txt   (1143 words)

If a user logs on with a username that is already in use, all overlapping sessions will be billed to the account holder with that username, at a rate of $1 per hour, pro-rated to the nearest second.

http://www.powerswitch.org.uk :: View topic - The International Simultaneous Policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) The Simultaneous Policy (SP) is our "people's globalisation policy": a work-in-progress that people who "adopt" SP are designing with other Adopters around the world. The Simultaneous Policy (SP) was designed precisely to provide an answer to that question, and the UK General Election on 5 May 2005 provided an appropriate “proving ground” on which to test SP’s novel electoral approach. This electoral incentive, combined with the fact that simultaneous implementation removes the fears politicians justifiably have about safeguarding national competitiveness, are designed to offer politicians a win-win way of building the necessary international consensus required to implement the far-reaching policies our world, its environment and its peoples now so desperately need. www.powerswitch.org.uk /forum/viewtopic.php?t=17&highlight=   (8569 words)

SIMULTANEOUS POLICY The exceptions are the powerful Group of 8 countries, exempted somehow from the stranglehold.             The Simultaneous Policy will remain a dream for as long as the modern State, its sovereignty weakened and its institutions increasingly paralysed, is not in a position to regain the control lost to the money power. To ask for a Simultaneous Policy from politicians and politics, especially after the dramatic loss of sovereignty represented by the introduction of the Euro, is futile. www.appropriate-economics.org /africa/SIMPOL.htm   (1368 words)

Empowerment Illustrated: CO2 emissions and Simultaneous Policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) A good explanation of a very empowering political process - Simultaneous Policy - is contained in this posting Achieving Sustainable Energy Use with contributions from John Kohler and John Bunzl the founder of SP. The idea is that some world problems such as CO2 emissions require solutions that would damage the competitiveness of individual countries and so they are unlikely to happen under the existing political process. With Simultaineous Policy a relatively small number of voters worldwide could start to influence the political process by agreeing to vote for whichever political parties agreed to implement the Simultaineous Policy proposals. www.empowermentillustrated.com /mtarchive/000603.html   (312 words)

Publications of RCGG The result is the strangle-hold of pseudo-democracy in which, whatever party we elect, the policies delivered remain substantially the same. Similarly, policies that seek to address environmental or social problems requiring higher public spending or higher costs for industry are precluded on the grounds of uncompetitiveness, adverse market reaction and the threat of job losses. SP thus calls upon peoples all over the world to recognise the futility of conventional party politics and to unite both by taking policy out of the hands of politicians and, by force of their numbers and their votes, by bringing political parties into competition with one another to adopt SP. www.rcgg.ufrgs.br /gp006.htm   (1909 words)

Simultaneous Policy Pledge Form As an elected member of the Senate / House of Representatives*, I pledge that I will vote for the Simultaneous Policy (SP) to be implemented when the governments of all, or sufficient, nations have likewise pledged to implement it (hereafter the "SP Pledge"), and I will encourage members of my party to join this effort.
